What We Do

Social Innovation Hubs

AFI is committed to building a strong, robust ecosystem that supports social entrepreneurship throughout India. Our flagship program, the Vision 2020 Hub project aims to establish a nation-wide network of 20 hubs of social innovation, by the year 2020. Each Hub offers mentorship, technical assistance, investment advisory and partnership support to promising, ready-to-scale social businesses

Annual Forum

The Annual Action For India Forum brings together leaders in ICT, banking, donors, government, and business to connect with leading social innovators. At the Annual Forum, social innovators have the opportunity to build on their knowledge and skills, as well as gain from conversations, discussions and networking opportunities with industry leaders.

Silicon Valley Challenge

The Silicon Valley Challenge is AFI’s annual business plan competition that selects high-potential social enterprises from India for an immersive, experiential learning program held in Silicon Valley, California. Winners of the Silicon Valley Challenge get to spend 10 days on the ground and engage with leading technology companies, business incubators, investors and other like-minded businesses.

Technology Partnerships

To enable the flow of resources and technical expertise, AFI has partnered with NASSCOM, the industry association of Indian IT companies. The AFI-NASSCOM collaboration is centered around providing mentorship, technical assistance and financial resources to “poised to scale” for-profit social enterprises across India, in a variety of sectors including education, healthcare, energy, livelihood, and agriculture.
